Backroads to Sussex

Today's road trip found us taking the Bonny Road at Nauwigewauk, then on to Smithtown and Titusville. We took a back road toward Sussex, ending up in Sussex Corner, from whence we took the Parlee Brook Road literally into the woods. This is a great road for leaf viewing as it is very narrow and you can get up close and personal with the scenery. It was a little sunny for good pictures, but the trip was well worth it regardless.

Being unable to get up a hill due to a very wet muddy road, we detoured and ended up in Waterford. The shots showing a stream with red trees in the foreground and in the distance are from the bridge at Waterford. You can park beside a large white building just past the bridge, and take a path down under the bridge to see an amazing waterfall and rock formations. At the bottom, a side-stream enters and the view is remarkable any time of year.

It may or may not work. If it does, these are recent photos from Southern NB in the Hampton area.

You can stop the slide by mousing in the lower right area. The little square stops the current slide.

Grand Manan - August 2007

How remiss I have been getting back to this blog. I guess discipline is not my major trait.

Our Grand Manan trip was a 2-day venture with our 8-year-old grandson, who was thrilled with the ferry, and pretty much every other aspect of the trip.

Below is a link to a photo album for the trip, with most of the views at roadside, or nearby.

We found a delightful combination of sun and fog, terrific, friendly people, a motel right on the beach, and lots of space to walk and feel connected to the earth and the sea. The Sardine Museum, with its history of the salt herring industry was a fascinating way to spend a rainy morning.
